The "Peter Projection" (also called the Gall-Peters projection) has accurate relative areas but distorted shapes. It is is one specialization of a configurable equal-area map projection known as the equal-area cylindric.
These projections preserve area:
- Gall orthographic (also known as Gall-Peters, or Peters, projection)
- Albers conic
- Lambert azimuthal equal-area
- Lambert cylindrical equal-area
- Mollweide
- Hammer
- Briesemeister
- Sinusoidal
- Werner
- Bonne
- Bottomley
- Goode's homolosine
- Hobo-Dyer
- Collignon
- Tobler hyperelliptical
